Netflix is trying to carve a slice of the live entertainment market, and its enlisting help from Beyonc to do so. The Houston-born singer will perform in her hometown on December 25th, headlining the halftime show for the Texans-Ravens NFL matchup as part of Netflixs Christmas Gameday live show.Beyoncs performance will take place in the second of two NFL games that Netflix is streaming on Christmas Day, the first being between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The star is set to perform songs from Cowboy Carter live for the first time, and is expected to bring along some special guests that featured on the album, according to Netflixs announcement. The games mark Netflixs NFL streaming debut, having secured a three-year deal in May that also includes at least one holiday game each year in 2025 and 2026.The streaming giant is investing heavily to expand into live sports and major events entertainment industries that attract some of the largest audiences and attention from advertisers. Its latest announcement comes two days after Netflix streamed a live boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul that attracted 65 million viewers. If were comparing with 2023 TV viewership, that would place the fight second only to the 115 million people who watched the Super Bowl telecast last year. For some, the Tyson vs Paul match was disrupted by buffering and connectivity issues that raised questions about the streamers capability to host live event coverage in the future.According to Bloomberg, Netflix is expected to gain 10 million viewers in its fourth quarter this year due to a combination of live sports and the upcoming second season of Squid Game which will air on December 26th. Netflix has also secured the rights to broadcast WWEs headline weekly show Monday Night Rawstarting January 6th, 2025, taking the show off linear television after 22 years.
